    Sonjourner, you're obviously not in the right place. I did community
    college (for credit) metals classes and the studio was wonderfully
    equipped, students and instructor were supportive, but this was, in
    part, because we were well directed. Behavior you describe from a
    fellow student would never have been tolerated by the instructor. If
    you are in an adult ed class the equipment is usually not as
    abundant. Design projects like you describe are often used as a first
    project to get you to see "jewelry" from a different viewpoint. Our
    first project was "found object turned into jewelry". You might ask
    your instructor if she/he knows anyone who takes on a private student
    or two. I'd be happy to talk to you off list if you'd like.
